when i was your age going out and gettiung lost was the way to get too know the area
get out and ride destination unknown, I went out too post a parcel at the post office 6 miles away last year ended up in minehead then on a tour of exmoor
failing that just pick a location and see if you can get there google maps or EVEN a road atlas( ask your parents about these kids it might tsake some explaining)

.
If you do somehow get lost then just keep riding, u will find a road sign soon enough.
i take it then if you give chase when it your police job if the perp goes more thasn 10 miles from your town he gets away

Well if I can clear a Sunday I will try and organise a bit of a ride out for late Sept and we can show you some roads, otherwise bring a map to the next pub meet and Graham will show some great roads for you to seek out! ( He is like a walking road atlas

).
